Yesterday marked the end of the INTA Annual Meeting 2026 in London — a perfect moment to reflect on an incredibly busy and inspiring week for Synergy, represented as always by Viktoriia Ostapchuk.
This year’s Meeting brought together more than 9,500 participants from over 100 jurisdictions, turning London into a true global hub for the IP community. With such an intense program and schedules packed minute by minute, every day was full of meetings, discussions, and new connections.
During the conference, Viktoriia had the pleasure of meeting colleagues, partners, and friends from all over the world. As always at INTA, there was never enough time to catch up with everyone — though we certainly tried 🙂
Ukrainian delegation in London
We are especially proud of the strong Ukrainian delegation at this year’s Meeting. Together with our colleagues from the Ukrainian National Association of Patent Attorneys (NAPA), we were happy to once again showcase Ukraine’s active and professional presence within the international IP community.
One of the most memorable events in London was the special conference “Intellectual Property for Victory” (IP4VICTORY), dedicated to current developments in IP and innovation in Ukraine and globally. The event was organized by the British Institute of International and Comparative Law together with NAPA and the Ukraine International Law Response Team at BIICL (Transitional Justice).
The conference brought together representatives of the British Parliament and ministries, WIPO, UKIPO, EUIPO, USPTO, UANIPIO, as well as AIPPI, INTA, CIPA, Queen Mary University of London, and international businesses. The event concluded with wonderful networking and a warm Ukrainian atmosphere.
Another important milestone: for the fifth consecutive year, the Ukrainian delegation had its own stand in the exhibition area — an important contribution to the visibility of the Ukrainian IP community on the international stage.
Other meetings during INTA
Among the other highlights of the week for us were:
— the annual meeting with our colleagues from the Interty network, of which we have proudly been members for many years;
— the REACT anti-counterfeiting reception;
— the APRAM breakfast hosted by the French association of trademark and design law practitioners, where Viktoriia is also a member.
A huge thank you to all organizers, colleagues, partners, and friends for the meetings, conversations, support, hugs, and energy throughout the week.
And to everyone we did not manage to meet this time — let’s stay connected online and hopefully catch up at INTA 2027 in sunny San Diego 😉
